WEATHERING AND EROSION

BY LEO CHAVEZ AND EDUARDO GARCIA

WATER EROSION

Water erosion is the removal of surface material by water from the Earth's crust and transportation of the eroded materials from the point of removal. Water erosion destroys landscape and houses due to rain which erodes the soil and causes things like gulley, rill and stream erosion.

WIND EROSION

Wind erosion is the detachment, transportation, and deposition of loose topsoil or sand by the action wind. Wind erodes the Earth's surface by deflation, turbulent eddy action and by abrasion. Wind erosion occurs mainly in desert regions.

MECHANICAL EROSION

DEFINITION: MECHANICAL WEATHERING IS THE SET OF VARIOUS PROCESSES OF WEATHERING THAT BREAK APART ROCKS INTO PARTICLES (SEDIMENT).

MECHANICAL EROSION

noun Geology . any of the various weathering processes that cause physical disintegration of exposed rock without any change in the chemical composition of the rock: Collision between rock surfaces can cause mechanical weathering.

CHEMICAL EROSION

The process of using chemicals to wear away an element or elements. Chemical etching removes surface contaminants through chemical erosion.
